Hope is the PRESENCE of God in the midst of a dark time.

Luke 2:1-12

“I bring you GOOD NEWS that will cause great joy for all the people.” - v. 10

Good News is not good ADVICE.

Matthew 1: “This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about.”

Genesis 12: All the peoples of the earth would be blessed through his descendants.

If you’ve been WAITING on God, you are in good company.

“You cannot judge God by your calendar...” - Tim Keller

God make take his time, but he always KEEPS his word.

The story of Christmas is a story of WAITING.

Because it HAPPENED, the promise still remains.
